This century-old state guesthouse is the best hot spring in Emei Mountain.

It seems to have become a habit to go to hot springs every winter, and Emei Mountain has always been my first choice. After all, it is only a two-hour drive away, and there are many places to visit in and around Emei Mountain. The food in Leshan is worth visiting again and again. · This time I chose Hongzhushan Hotel. In fact, I have known about this hotel for a long time. It is the oldest five-star state guesthouse in Emei Mountain. When I was a child, this was not even a place that ordinary tourists could go to. The hotel can be traced back to 1935 when Mr. Chiang established the "Officer Training Corps" here. Today, Building 4 of the hotel is Mr. Chiang's official residence. I made a special visit this time. The appearance of the Western-style white-painted wooden building looks very stylish under the towering trees. · 🌳Environment The entire Hongzhushan Hotel is bigger than I imagined. It is located on the right bank of the Yoga River and covers the entire Hongzhushan area. It is built on the mountain with winding paths, like a park hidden in the mountains. It takes at least half an hour to walk from Hongzhu Lake to the farthest Building 8. It is very comfortable to take a walk along the mountain road by the lake in the morning or at dusk. · 🏡Room Hongzhushan Hotel has a total of 8 small buildings, but the main ones open to the public are Building 5, Building 7, and Building 8. We stayed in Building 8 this time, which is located at the end of Hongzhushan, and the environment is very quiet. I was a little worried about the outdated facilities before going, but I found that it was much better than I expected. Although it is an old five-star hotel, the decoration is quite good. Outside the window is a deep forest, which makes the whole room full of greenery. It is said that when Jin Yong came to Emei Mountain, he stayed in this building. The only downside is that it is a bit inconvenient to go out. It is a bit far to walk, but too close to drive. The hotel breakfast is in Building 5, and you can take the hotel's shuttle bus in the morning. · ♨️Hot Spring The hot spring in Hongzhushan is definitely the best hot spring in Emei Mountain. It is a real hot spring in the forest, with nearly 30 pools indoors and outdoors, with birds chirping and insects chirping, and the natural environment is excellent. The only places in Emei Mountain with so many pools are Hongzhushan and Lingxiu, but Hongzhushan has a better environment and privacy. It cleverly uses the terrain and native plants to isolate it, allowing you to enjoy your own space. The only complaint is that if you stay on the weekend, you can only go to the hot spring for free once.
